This blog will be used to reflect / announce the happenings and interests at PLATFORM in Winnipeg. Known as The Floating Gallery between 1981 and 2004, at which point we were renamed PLATFORM centre for photographic + digital arts to reflect a diverse adjustment to programming and outreach initiatives

Please join us in celebrating the launch of WINTERHOUSES. Michael's artist book WINTERHOUSES is an 'unsequenced' group of 60 pages of images and language. Symbols ranging from: the scientific to the mythological, the numinous to the beautiful, and the mysterious to the matter-of-fact weave throughout the work, while changing form on any given page. Metamorphosing interpretation occurs through individual's random arrangements. Viewers might conjure narratives or simply a singular impression.

Michael Benjamin Brown is an interdisciplinary artist and MFA graduate from the Chelsea College of Art and Design in London, England. His work has been exhibited locally, nationally, and internationally. Michael is currently living and working in Wpg, MB.

“My work is interdisciplinary; allowing me to prioritize content, and then give special treatment to the form best suited to the idea. I want my work to not only create and open many doors to an ‘experiential space’ at the intersection of the physical and metaphysical but to allow you to enter many doors at the same time. There the work can act as the social participant, artist myth maker, and scientific skeptic.”
